Default One Month and 2100 miles later...(impressions)

I love it! 03 3.0 Quattro 6 speed,w/sports, premium, cold weather, bose, and navigation. Great handling car, beautiful interior, eye-catching looks, thoughtful appointments throughout, decent engine.

Minor annoyances:

Car is too heavy...18mpg for a small V6 3.0L is a joke.

That stupid FM AS feature. I never use it, I hate having to hit FM twice to get from FM 2 back to FM 1, and while I'm on the topic of the radio, I hate not being able to switch the FMs from the steering wheel control.

The sunroof thumping noise if no other window is open. I know I know, there is a comfort setting, but still. This is the first car I've ever owned/ridden in that had that problem.

That's it. I am sooooo glad I bought this car. No regrets!

Does your sunroof rattle when closed but with the shade open?
